SDSU/Creighton/FAU/Princeton or Kansas State will be playing for the national title.


More like one of

SDSU/Creighton/Princeton

or

FAU/KState

will be playing for the national title.

Princeton over Creighton?   I can't see it.
Princeton over Arizona was tough to see. Princeton over  Missouri was tough to see. Don’t count out the Tigers.

But I agree - I suspect Princeton’s run ends tonight

Interesting nugget, teams with more experience are 6-0 so far in the Sweet 16 (I’m including Miami as a winner).

The two remaining games, Princeton & Xavier are the more experienced teams, fwiw.

Houston was overrated. Put them in a P6 and they are a 6 or 7 seed. It’s a whole different ball game when you play 20+ P6 teams in a row.

Any other year, sure.  Nothing is impossible this year.  Except #1s in the elite 8.

May never get a chance like this again.

What is also amazing is that there are at least six conferences ( seven depending on Princeton/Creighton) represented in the Elite Eight.

Get real …
It’s not hyperbole.

Maybe they have a similar year, win a ton of games and go to the FF w / a more veteran ( same ) team next year

Or … god forbid, there’s an injury or two ..,0r the chemistry is not as good. Or other things occur. 

For example:  NC .. coming off a FF, preseason top 5, returning almost the same team , and they miss the dance.

This year was a blown opportunity.

Wow, X has more experience than Texas? Texas has 6 seniors, 4 of which are 5th year guys.

Agreed.

But what happened to the Jays' defense?

Princeton is quick and, with the exception of Kalkbrenner, bigger.
